Advent is a season of anticipation. We look forward to the joy of seeing our Savior in a manger on Christmas Day. As we anticipate our Savior’s coming at Christmas, we also look forward to our Savior’s return on the Last Day to bring to completion our salvation.
Advent also gives us special occasion to spend time in the Word together, learning more and more about the story of Jesus and looking forward to his coming. Through the use of an Advent wreath, our anticipation will grow as we study Scripture and light another candle each week of December.
Whether you are single, married, have teens or a younger family, this season of Advent is a perfect opportunity to spend time with your Savior in his Word. To help you do that, we have put together a DIY Advent Kit. In it, you will find:
an Advent wreath
an Advent devotion book for you to use from Nov. 29th through Dec 25th
If you have young kids, there are kid’s Bible stories that go along with each devotion
optional crafts and coloring sheets that match up with the devotions
a bookmark that explains the Advent season and gives some suggestions about how to use the Advent wreath and devotion book
The daily devotions can also be delivered electronically via email and the kits can be picked up at Our Savior Lutheran or delivered to your home.
